CEO, Neek Kurat, was there to represent Test Nest (and even A/B tested the way he displayed his cards). What Test Nest wants to be is the new service you use to test your app store meta data. Currently app stores don’t let you see what viewers are looking at, where they are bouncing and or converting. They allow you to test this by setting up a mock app store web page that tracks all user movement. Allowing you to see what works and what does not in a test scenario allowing you to make those changes in the real app store. They are currently in beta right now.

CEO, Michal Kepinski, was there to talk about AudioTrip. This is a two way platform. If you’re going on vacation, you can check out their site and mobile app for interesting audio trips that have been put together. These tours are not just put together by anyone but by a community. Meaning, anyone can put a trip up their site and charge for it. There are guidelines to follow and there is a voting system for the tours. So, if someone tries to put up a fake one, it will be vetted and eventually pulled if not changed to be better.

Since you do these tours on your own time, you don’t have to worry about keeping up with anyone or getting lost. The mobile app will show you the route and you can take your time hitting each spot you want.

WeGrow wants to be a new tool you use to increase the transparency in the work place. Most people want feedback on recent work and the sooner the better.
